Darksiders Genesis

its like crossing pee streams, bros for life <3

Buggy garbage, who the hell codes a game like this. Nothing works, got soft locked multiple times losing hours of progress. Clearly there was no QA testing done on this game. Steer clear of this mess.

What fucking trash is this? No wonder the series died.

Pretty good

awesomr

The series is my favourite and the game itself is really good, could be a perfect game imo if not for the translation timing in the cutscenes and a few other mobility bugs.

good

Yes.

As always, I absolutely love this series. This time the Isometric view did wonders to refresh the formula.
(+) Strife is great!
(+) Gameplay is kinda like a twin-stick shooter, which controlled great
(+) As always, many secrets and side quests that are not too obtuse
(+) Voice acting is impecable as always
(+) Visuals are top notch, as expected
(+) Being able to switch between Strife and War on the fly feels great
(+) Interesing story - a prequel of the other games
(0) Main story is considerably short but the side content makes up for it
(0) War is not as fun to control as Strife
(0) Creating builds is fun but in the end you are quite limited
(-) So many bugs like out of bounds, stuck in animation, skills not activating, etc
(-) Very easy until you reach the last difficulty
(-) The ending is... lackluster but was expected?

one of the best darksiders gam

very much game good

There are literally game breaking bugs. You cant progress further because the E Skill on War gets stuck in the flames.
Sadly im over the refund time. Do not recommend.

Very fun to play with a friend or on couch. The online connection is somewhat buggy, but nonetheless, beautiful game.

gun man gun gun and purple horse also big man very fun

Despite the fundamental changes to the series' viewpoint, Darksiders Genesis feels like a true Darksiders game, and banishes any memory of the lacklustre third entry.

Oh Darksiders! one of my favorite series and a story I have been so thoroughly invested in since DS1. A lil bit of prequel, with gameplay visuals so very different from the rest of its brethren, a coop enabled campaign, great banter between the 2 protagonists, and fun to do explorations, quests and rewards. Starting off from a very basic power rating and then climbing up to explosive power that puts even the hardest difficulty to shame, very beautiful power fantasy experience that one expects from the series by this point.

Not without its flaws though. There are a lot of bugs where either you glitch out into the environment, or enemies do and the level is basically stuck unless you quit out and load back in from a checkpoint. There are some bosses with needlessly annoying mechanics especially if you are trying to get achievements. Certain puzzles that are beyond infuriating, sometimes you cant even see where you're going or what u need to do, and a lot of times it feels like it'll only go succeed with really good RNG. And actual components of the protag's kits are locked behind some of these.
But regardless, the game is worth playing for an introduction to Strife and his playstyle, classic Darksiders gameplay although from a different camera perspective, and the variety of cool new enemies introduced. The executions are always fun to watch. Can hardly wait for the next one in the series.

Satisfying combat, even if that dodge doesn't pass through enemies. Fantastic art direction. Excellent music and great sound design. Fun characters with good dialogue and great voice acting. Standard hidden collectibles and some standard traversal mechanics. Upgrades and items are not exciting and feel like a let down. You can do the game just fine with zero upgrades. My final gripe are the overly-complicated controls. It feels like the game is doing too much and must use EVERY SINGLE BUTTON. Every sub-menu uses a different button to open them, and do not appear in the same spot for each menu. A fun time-waster that should be cheap, but won't stand up to more modern action games like Hades. I have no regrets.

Still miles better than Darksiders 3, but easily the second weakest in the series. Great graphics though!

7/10

AWESOME Co-op experience, Make more.

good game

Primeiramente, parece um jogo estilo Diablo, porém, na verdade é mais um Darksiders em visão de cima, pela questão de puzzles elaboradora e gameplay mais "hack and slash". Têm a vantagem de poder jogar solo, coop local ou coop online, o que deixa tudo mais divertido e interativo.

Por fim, conta a história antes dos outros 3 Darksiders, então vale a pena jogar ele antes de jogar os outros, se for seguir o caminho da história em si.

dame god

A cynical, low quality cashgrab that's nothing like the other games and sullies the Darksiders name - well, until you actually play it and it turns into honestly one of the better titles in the franchise.

Budget Zelda: Ocarina of Time + God of War now turned Diablo

First off i love this game. amazing gameplay great graphics and good lore.
but for F*ck sake don't play this game if you are a completist. this puzzle with pillars will take your sanity. it definitely broke me

ПОЗОР СЕРИИ DARKSIDERS!!!!

Hai Chiến Binh Dũng Mãnh Xông Pha Chiến Trường

WARNING ! Puzzles will drive most men mad. Playing this game requires patience. Even more with a co-op buddy.

The plus sides are thus:
+Great characters
+Story
+Gameplay(Combat specifically)

Downside
-Wretched puzzle solving.
-Lack of upgrades to buy from merchants/trainers.
-Somewhat frustrating platforming.

Great story, but I wished to have a DS2 styled gameplay

Glitches both for enemies and player, gets stuck occasionally, poor controls map. definitely not made because they love the franchise but to make a quick buck and end it.

Thrilling combat, amazing exploration and deep and hilarious characters are just a few of the things that cannot be used to describe this shit game

nice

This game is trash from the ground up. Shit controls. Poor balance. Dumb ideas for character progression. Terrible action sequences. The environmental interactions are still thrown at you like its the other three games but it's 2.5D and you're left at the mercy of way too much automation in how you interact with it. The only reason it has 5 hours on it, is I got called away and left it running. I would've refunded otherwise. Save your money and buy something that's well made. This is crap.

I just finished playing as Duo Horsemen, Strife and War, rampaging through universe, slaying both Corrupt Angels and Demons. My next journey after this is seeing the story through Wrath's Eyes in Darksiders 3

Beautiful story and game mechanic

good darksiders game as diablo style but playing strife make it even more better

other than the glitches game is good.

funny and well made game with some caveats

Darksiders Genesis is the coop little sibling of the other Darksiders games. The fixed three quarters perspective and the level based structure make the game feel smaller in scope, and the zoomed out camera seems a little bit at odds with the extremely busy character designs.

The main problem is that Darksiders Genesis doesn't offer much beyond combat, and the designs of the combat encounters aren't really interesting enough to sustain a 15 hour game.

entartaining much!

Only 3 hours in but it's already proven to be pretty fun.

camera is garbage and locked into bad views
horrible controls for keyboard
nothing like darksiders 2
MOBA style combat with none of the charm. 1/10

i fucks wit it heavy fr fr

I was expecting a short, low-budget, rather fun simple game. But I was blown away by how greatly it was crafted(for the most part). The environments were beautiful, fighting enemies and bosses were really fun, and the writing was top notch. I never knew I needed War vs Strife's banter. Speaking of Strife, now he's my favorite character of the four(I still love Death tho). And the music, holy shizz, the music is awesome in this game(Make sure you buy Digital extras, it'll be worth it!). I played through the game solo and the gameplay depth was even deeper than the mainline entries.
However, I have some gripes. The amount of bugs, while not game breaking, were rather frequent, things like clipping though walls and floor or enemies getting stuck. Also getting stuck on the objects on floor like candles, bones etc were really frustrating. But the worst of them all them was the horrible platforming section. Due to fixed camera angles, most of the platforming sections were a torture method of their own.
Overall, it's a great game, with great replay value, kicka$$ soundtrack and great character interactions which outweigh the negatives. I'd highly recommend it if you've at least played Darksiders 1 or you like these type of games.

Good

Fun to play.

Not only are there better darksiders games, there's better local-coop games.

I gave it a chance but I very much feel this game was hamstrung by a lack of budget and ideas. It also has a bunch of ill fitting design choices, not least of which is the choice to make it a co-op twin stick shooter. with an awful fixed perspective camera and un-intuitive controls. I get the sense that this game was made just to have a game out there featuring the fourth horseman (Strife) so that the devs could finally close the book on the Darksiders IP without leaving any loose ends. The third game was already stretching the IP (and budget) to breaking point, this game feels exactly like what it is; low budget, low ambition, and low expectations.

Darksiders had its time, and it was fun while it lasted, but this game is the final nail in the coffin. Let it die.
